Reaching the Masses

Despite our pretty awesome internet connection, we only have the very basic-est of cable right now. This prioritization shouldn't surprise anybody. I watch most of my TV on the Command Center anyway, so it doesn't have much of an effect on the actual volume of programming that I consume. It does affect my exposure to knife and knife collections though through the third of our 3 shopping networks: The Cutlery Corner Network. Justen claims he once saw an offer for a 300 piece knife set, all for the low low price of  $100 (+ S&H) and I pretty sure he almost called in. Usually it's not nearly as exciting, just an assortment of pocket knives and switch blades with weird stone handles and/or engravings sitting there in between ABC and NBC. All day long. Selling knives. And sometimes swords. And staying in business. 

Let's get a cable access show.

Sweater; Roof; Typewriter

I got a typewriter in the mail today. It's a sleek little guy, and he came complete with a red & black ribbon, a #1 key(!), and an Operating Instruction pamphlet. This proved surprisingly useful early on in our relationship when it detailed how to set my line-spacing. The only thing he seems to be missing is a Tab key, which I'm not sure how my future typewriting experiences will be affected by yet.

Actually, this seemed like the perfect time to be a little affected. So I put on a sweater, a tie, and a pair of saddle shoes. And then got to typing.
